Purchase Price of a Note — Fully Amortized
The mortgage you are thinking about buying has the following terms
and conditions: 15 years remaining, $100 per month incoming pay-
ments, and you want a 25% yield or return on your investment. In
this case you are paying for the income stream — the incoming pay-
ments — and not the future value. What price should you pay, on
this desired yield?
